Why D and not E can someone explain????


D it is...

In E, it appears like the striking similarities were reared apart from each other, which is complete and utter codswallop!

It is not E because

identical twins and reared apart should be close to each other.

Similarly, striking similarities and including many idiosyncrasies of behavior, should be together.

Clear D..

Modifier needs to modify "twins";

Narrow Choices: D, E
E has "similarities reared apart" which doesn't make sense grammatically.

Answer: D

Will go with D here.

Corrects the modifier problem. Also "reared apart from each other" is placed appropriately

This is straight D.

"reared apart" should modify "twins" and "including many idiosyncrasies of behavior." should be close to "striking similarities"


right tx for the explanation very clear.....what need to be modified
